Hello, here are some pictures I took in September 2013 during a trip to Yellowstone.

Nice ones, Pierre.
I like how the foreground echoes the sky in #2.
#1 is intriguing. It looks like the trees are not vertical and the horizon not horizontal, but it feels like they should be. So many good elements here: perhaps separate captures might have worked, too.

I like the second one a lot, it's a peaceful scene. The first one is less interesting to me but far from bad. I would clone out the two people, though.

Nicely done on both, but I think #1 is the stronger photo for a few reasons: more dramatic lighting and sky and a more interesting subject (how can one resist steaming not springs?). The trees in the foreground give great context to the photograph, whereas in the second, the foreground tree running across the photograph, for me anyway, acts as a barrier.

I like how the clouds mimic the treeline in #2.
